Dear j883376,
Yes, I am aware of the licensing issues that such a setup would bring. The whole point of this setup would be to have the admincp inaccessible to anyone but admininstrators.
Well, from what I gather there are no real technical limitations. You guys brought up some valid points (licensing, not running install from both locations) , so I think I'll go ahead and set this up.
Thanks for your input.
Kees Jan
PS. This also ties into my post about
limiting database grants. Having the admin control panel on a separate machine allows me to instruct MySQL to not give ALTER/DROP/CREATE privileges to the admin machine. This makes SQL injection just that little bit less powerful on my site.
